Mosquito Control Service Franklinton
Our favorite mosquito control tips to keep them out of your yard — and off your family!
“Spray Safe” When It Comes To Bug Repellent
Mosquitos are never welcome on a lawn. Nobody likes them. The trouble is that they often invite themselves over to your lawn anyway. Our team is trained to fog and spray to control mosquito and keep them away. We’re not only experts at getting rid of mosquitos, but have plenty of tips so you can try to keep them away as well.
Not all bug spray is created equal, and there are plenty of brands that are committed to using natural ingredients. We recommend looking for sprays that repel using essential oils versus harsh chemicals like DEET, unless you’re going into the deep woods. Never apply spray to children under age two. We also recommend avoiding a product that combines sunscreen and bug spray, since you’ll need to apply sunscreen more often than you should apply bug spray. Always be sure to wash your hands after an application.
What They Say
Our Clients' Reviews
Wow! What an amazing company! They did some gorgeous work around our newly installed pool, added drainage, sod installation, a new patio, built a pathway with stones. It looks gorgeous. I have worked with contractors who can be a nightmare but I am blown away by the professional approach of Russel and his team. Very polite, diligent, on time, patient and just want their customers to be happy. They go above and beyond! So happy we found them!

Russell and his team are amazing! They have made my lawn look better than I could have asked for, certainly better than it's ever looked before! We use them for regular lawn maintenance: mowing, trimming, mulching, etc., and keep it looking gorgeous.We have also had them install landscape lighting for us. The landscape lighting was installed to shine up on the house from the ground and gables, along with lighting up the pathway. They designed and installed everything, and they came back to add finishing touches and make sure it looked beautiful at night.I love driving up to my house now and couldn't ask for a better company to work with!

Distinct lines did a great job, extending my fence line, grading the area, and adding in a large river cobble drainage feature. The results were fantastic and everyone was very responsive. I would definitely use to Distinct Lawns again.

Russell and his crew have been caring for our lawn and managing larger garden projects for us for nearly five years. We actually were awarded ‘Yard of the Month’ a few years back by our HOA. I attribute that award to the work that Distinct Lawns did for us!

Russell and his crew are great. He helped out a lot when my lawn mower died and got me on a biweekly schedule. He even made the time to come out on an off cycle week so our lawn would be freshly mowed before we hosted my kid’s 1 year birthday party.He transformed our yard from one of the worst in the neighborhood to one of the better looking ones.

Distinct Lawns has taken my yard full of weeds & bare spots and turned it into an emerald green sea of fescue. Russell's vision & attention to detail go hand in hand with his personality. Distinct Lawns is more than a full service landscaping and mowing company, Russell takes time to get to know you and your family. Through the relationships that he builds with his clients Russell is able to take your yard to the next level.

Clever Mosquito Control Solutions, Minus The Repellent
We get it: You don’t want suspicious chemicals in the mosquito spray for your yard, and you definitely don’t want them on your children or your dog! While bug bites are just a part of summer, there’s a lot you can do to reduce the number.
1. STICK TO “UNSCENTED” FOR THE SUMMER:
Mosquitoes have terrible vision, but a great sense of smell. They’re attracted to not just blood and sweat (sorry), but anything floral or sweet-smelling. We’re talking to you, rose-scented dryer sheets, strawberry shampoo, lilac lotion …
2. PUT MOSQUITO NETS AROUND BABY STROLLERS:
Those chubby little baby thighs? They’re irresistible to mosquitoes, too. You might also consider putting netting around beds if the kiddos are always leaving the screen door open.
3. COVER UP IN LIGHT-COLORED CLOTHES:
Mosquitoes don’t like to work too hard and will move on if skin is not easy to access. They’re also attracted to the color red and darker colors in general.
How To Treat A Mosquito Bite
Most mosquito bites go away on their own in a few days, but boy, can those days be uncomfortable! Your first step is to wash the bite area with soapy water. Dry completely and swab with rubbing alcohol to clear away any remaining mosquito saliva (we know, gross!), which is what your immune system is reacting to. In addition to the usual calamine lotion and anti-itch creams, a cold compress helps reduce swelling and itchiness. Finally, be patient and try not to scratch.

Our Favorite Mosquito-Minimizing Yard Care Strategies
Keep A Schedule
Yes, mosquitoes are part of the summer landscape, but your yard doesn’t have to be party central. In addition to regular mosquito spray for your yard, there’s a lot you can do to safeguard your property. Mosquitos are drawn to certain traits of your property, such as standing water or overgrown grass. Addressing these issues is an important first step to sending mosquitos away. If you’re still having trouble after removing their hiding spots, it might be time to steer them away with safe, professional grade repellent applications. Distinct Lawns is a great company to take on that task for you!
